Shows you the organizing principals of astronomy and stars [(1) Gravity, (2) 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, (3) initial mass] and shows you how stars progress through their billions-of-years long life cycle. Now the universe doesn't seem like a menagerie of weird and unique "beasts", but instead feels like an extended family of related siblings and cousins. This book is very very good. It is pitched at the level of the interested, but NON-physics-major Sophomore or Junior in college.


It is in very good condition. Only the sticker on front which can be removed  i just never did.

I am moving internationally later this year, thus letting go of many items. I do bundle, reuse shipping materials, and give discounts within reason. Half off or 50% off the asking price is not reasonable without explanation. Thanks for shopping. Take care!
